The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa. Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the
South African Lowveld, this national park of over 2 million hectares is unrivaled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and
policies. Truly the flagship of the South African National Parks, Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals.
Man's interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries - from bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger
National Park. These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role in the history of the Kruger National Park and are conserved along with the park's natural
assets.

Your Lodge is a charming & extraordinarily beautiful luxury lodge, with 9 private suites (each with plunge pool, deck and lounge) tucked into the
trees along the Sabie River in the Kruger National Park. Whether you choose to spend time at your private plunge pool overlooking the river, reclining on the couch in your lounge, lazing on your
bed with a good book, or soaking in a bubble bath, you will not be cheated of the breathtaking panorama. You will head into the bush twice a day in the
company of their professional guides and trackers. You’ll discover another thriving world where we are merely observers. You spend three nights in absolute luxury and peace including all meals,
guided game drives in open Land Rovers, snacks, teas/coffees and local drinks (extra are premium brand drinks).
